It is
difficult to overestimate Moses’ importance to the unfolding of God’s
plan of salvation. Moses is arguably the most significant Old Testament
figure because of his unique role as mediator of the old covenant. In
this sense, Moses is a precursor to Jesus Christ who is the mediator of a
new and better covenant. This insightful volume focuses on the
redemptive-historical aspects of Moses’ life and ministry as manifested
in the books of Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

This month's freebie from Verbum (Logos' Catholic counterpart) is not bad too:

Richard Wurmbrand suffered 14 years in underground prison
cells, months in solitary confinement, and years of physical torture.
His only crimes were his fervent belief in Jesus Christ and his public
witness for that faith. Richard Wurmbrand exposed the persecution of
Christians by atheistic Communist governments—his testimony shocked the
Western world.

Christian parenting is hard work--and it's getting harder. Parents have a
deep desire to pass on their faith, but fear that today's increasingly

the truth of Christianity. That leaves parents feeling overwhelmed. This
practical and timely resource gives parents the confidence of knowing
what to discuss with their children and how to discuss it in order to
facilitate impactful conversations that will form the basis of a
lifelong faith.

Gary Thomas believes couples often settle for too little when it comes
to marriage. We fail to understand how deeply God cares about our
spouse. We diminish our need to not only understand what biblical love
really is, but also to become a people who excel at it. We let ourselves
drift apart instead of making the daily choices to grow closer
together.

"The
followers of Jesus are to different," writes John Stott, "different from
both the nominal church and the secular world, different from both the
religious and the irreligious. The Sermon on the Mount is the most
complete delineation anywhere in the New Testament of the Christian
counter-culture. Here is a Christian value-system, ethical standard,
religious devotion, attitude to money, ambition, lifestyle, and network
of relationships--all of which are totally at variance with those in the
non-Christian world. And this Christian counter-culture is the life of
the kingdom of God, a fully human life indeed but lived out under the
divine rule."

The Message of Ephesians

"Millions have caught Karl Marx's vision of a New Man and a New Society.
"Paul presents a greater vision still," writes John Stott. In his letter
to the Ephesians the apostle "sees the human predicament as something
even deeper than the injustice of the economic structure and so
propounds a yet more radical solution. He writes of nothing less than a
'new creation.'"

you do when you’ve made a mess of things? Where do you go when you’ve
